  • Publication number: 20250134451
    Abstract: Intelligent systems and methods for facilitating insomnia therapy are disclosed. Sensor data (e.g., non-contact sensor data) can be used to determine physiological parameter(s), such as sleep-related physiological parameter(s), which can be used to generate a sleep disorder prediction. The sleep disorder prediction can be used, along with an identified sleep therapy plan, to generate and facilitate application of (e.g., present to a user or automatically apply) a sleep therapy recommendation. When sleep apnea is predicted in concert with an identified cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) plan, a warning can be presented to the user to not engage in certain CBTi therapies. Sensor data can also be used to automatically update therapy parameter(s) of an ongoing sleep therapy plan, such as in realtime.

  • Publication number: 20230420124
    Abstract: A method includes generating, using one or more sensors, data. The data includes (i) environmental data related to an environment of a user and (ii) physiological data associated with the user during a sleep session. Based at least in part on the physiological data, a comfort score associated with the user during the sleep session is determined. The comfort score is indicative of a comfort level of the user during at least a portion of the sleep session. Based at least in part on the determined comfort score, a setting of one or more devices associated with the environment of the user is adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20230248927
    Abstract: A method includes data associated with a sleep session of a user, including respiration data associated with the user during at least a portion of the sleep session and audio data reproducible as one or more sounds during at least a portion of the sleep session. The method also includes determining a respiration signal associated with the user during the sleep session based, at least in part, on at least a portion of the data. The method also includes identifying an event experienced by the user during the sleep session based, at least in part on, at least a portion of the data. The method also includes causing to be communicated to the user via a user device a graphical representation of a portion of the respiration signal and an event indication that aids in identifying the identified event within the graphical representation of the portion of the respiration signal.

  • Publication number: 20230240595
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a sleep session of an individual comprises receiving data associated with a current sleep session of the individual; analyzing at least a portion of the received data to identify one or more sleep stages experienced by the individual during the current sleep session, the one or more sleep stages including a light sleep stage, a deep sleep stage, a typical rapid eye movement (REM) stage, an atypical REM stage, a wake stage, or any combination thereof; and generating a summary of the current sleep session, the summary including (i) a number of atypical REM sleep stages experienced by the individual during the sleep current sleep session, (ii) a time spent in atypical REM sleep stages during the current sleep session, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).

  • Publication number: 20230148952
    Abstract: A method includes receiving first data associated with a first sleep session of a user. The method also includes determining a first set of sleep-related parameters associated with the first sleep session of the user based at least in part on the first data. The method also includes receiving second data associated with a second sleep session of the user. The method also includes determining a second set of sleep-related parameters associated with the second sleep session of the user based at least in part on the second data. The method also includes receiving third data associated with a variable condition. The method also includes causing one or more indications associated with the variable condition and the first sleep session, the second sleep session, or both to be communicated to the user.

  • Patent number: 10863906
    Abstract: A sensor for physiology sensing may be configured to generate oscillation signals for emitting radio frequency pulses for range gated sensing. The sensor may include a radio frequency transmitter configured to emit the pulses and a receiver configured to receive reflected ones of the emitted radio frequency pulses. The received pulses may be processed to detect physiology characteristics such as motion, sleep, respiration and/or heartbeat. In some embodiments, the sensor may employ a circuit including a pulse generator configured to generate signal pulses. The circuit may also include a dielectric resonator oscillator configured to generate a radio frequency oscillating signal. A switched oscillation circuit may be coupled to the pulse generator and the dielectric resonator oscillator. The switched circuit may be configured to generate a pulsed radio frequency oscillating signal for emitting the radio frequency pulses.
